A daily task-selection skill that scans project files and returns the highest-ranked unchecked tasks for today. It can also consider an optional energy rating, meaning how much effort you have available.

It helps review project tasks, rank them by project and section priority, filter by available energy, and flag stale work.

It turns a large project task list into a short set of priorities, making it easier to decide what to work on next.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00047	$0.00773
Opus 5	$0.00023	$0.00387
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00155
Haiku 4.5	$0.00005	$0.00077

Measured 4d ago against content hash 0a667c0046ef, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-08, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

focus scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 4d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 76 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GTD Focus

Scan all project files, rank unchecked tasks, return today's top 3-5. Read-only — no writes to vault.

Instructions

Get today's date (ISO format YYYY-MM-DD)
Read today's coaching pulse (optional): /home/mat/dev/gtd-pcm/06-coaching/daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
- Extract energy: field (1-10). If file missing or field absent, skip energy filter.
Glob all project task files: 03-projects/*/01-*.md under /home/mat/dev/gtd-pcm/
Read ALL matched files in parallel (single message, multiple Read calls). Parse unchecked tasks (- [ ] ...) with section + tags.
Score each task (see Ranking Algorithm)
If pulse available: apply energy filter
Sort descending, take top 3-5
Output focus list with staleness flags

Ranking Algorithm

Score = project_priority × section_weight × tag_weight

Factor	Key	Weight
project_priority (folder NN)	01–09	1.0
	10–19	0.8
	20–29	0.6
	30–39	0.4
	50–59	0.2
section_weight (header)	`## Top` / `## Today` / `## Frog`	1.0
	`## Next Actions` / `## Next`	0.8
	`## Soon` / `## This Week`	0.5
	`## Backlog` / other	0.2
tag_weight (task tags)	`#frog`	1.5
	`#next`	1.2
	`#deep`	1.0 (energy-filtered)
	`#braindead`	0.8
	`#waiting`	0.3
	no tag	1.0

Staleness: [created:: YYYY-MM-DD] age ≥ 14d → append ⚠️. Missing date → skip (no error).

Energy filter: Pulse energy ≤ 3 → exclude #deep tasks.

Output Format

## 🎯 Focus for YYYY-MM-DD

1. Task description ⚠️ (if stale)
   📁 03-projects/NN-name/01-name.md | score: X.XX | #tags

2. Task description
   📁 03-projects/NN-name/01-name.md | score: X.XX | #tags

...

Show source project path for every task. Include score for transparency. If pulse read: show Energy: N/10 header line. If no tasks found: report "No unchecked tasks found in projects."

Constraints

Read-only: Never write, edit, or create any file
Top 3 minimum, top 5 maximum
Skip completed tasks (- [x])
Skip waiting tasks (#waiting) unless no other tasks available

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

focus is a skill published in the GitHub repository digital-stoic-org/agent-skills (20 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 773 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-04.
